Hey everyone!
I've got my machine back out and I need to buy needles, but there is an overwhelming amount of options. So I was hoping some of you might have good recommendations for the Juki TL 2000 Qi, which says it needs HLx5 or HAx1
These two needles aren't sold at Walmart and I don't have anywhere else to buy supplies unless online. Any help is appreciated!

For example, Organ's HAx1 needle is the same as other manufacturers 15x1 and 130/705H needles.

Just to clarify for the OP, are you saying you are using 130/705H style Schmetz needles in a Juki TL-series machine?

Yes, 130/705H is the configuration (measurement specification) from the top of the needle to the top of the eye. It has a "flat" at the top of the shank. Most longarms use an industrial needle with a completely round shank, with a different configuration. The needle package will say, "130/705H" right on it. It is different than the thickness of the needle 11/75, 12/80, 14/90, etc. Most domestic machines will take the 130/705H Schmetz needle. At the shop, that's all we used on all the domestic machines we serviced. The Juki 2200QVP is a semi-industrial machine, but it still takes the domestic machine needles.

Schmetz makes many different needle styles/sizes. I have 3 different style families on hand - one for domestics (3 sizes - 11/70, 12/80, and 14/90), one for sergers, and one for my longarm (2 sizes, 16 and 18). They are not interchangeable, but all are Schmetz-branded.

I buy mine at SewVacDirect
I use the 90/14 size for all my quilting Schmetz HLx5 Quilter's Needles - High Speed
They do have other Schmetz HLx5 sizes as well. Schmetz
